Outdoor Rugs

An outdoor rug grounds a patio like it does a living room—defining the space, adding color and comfort underfoot, and standing up to sun, rain, and bare feet. Shop designer-curated outdoor rugs in weather-ready materials.

About Outdoor Rugs

What size outdoor rug do I need?

Use the same rules as indoors: in a lounge zone, the rug should sit under at least the front legs of your seating; under an outdoor dining set, add about 24 inches beyond the table on all sides so chairs stay on the rug. Measure your deck or patio and size up—an undersized rug shrinks the space.

Outdoor rug materials

Most outdoor rugs are polypropylene (synthetic)—UV- and water-resistant, quick-drying, and easy to hose clean. PET (recycled plastic) and some treated natural fibers like jute work in covered spots. Look for 'flatweave' and 'fade-resistant' for the easiest care in full sun.

Caring for an outdoor rug

The beauty of outdoor rugs is low maintenance—shake or vacuum off debris, hose down spills, and air-dry. Roll and store them dry for winter to extend their life and color. Use a rug pad rated for outdoor use to prevent slipping and trapped moisture.

Styling with outdoor rugs

An outdoor rug instantly makes a patio feel like a room. Anchor your lounge or dining zone with one, pull a color into your throw pillows or cushions, and don't shy from pattern—busy designs hide dirt and add the energy an open-air space can handle.
